finally got it done.... did everything I could to get the best time, private rental, good weather, fresh prep, etc... it's a bit weird that I have done 0-60 in 3.1 on the street with a little spin, seems like the car wasn't ready to dead hook, it seemed to bog a bit when you watch the gauge view... capable of a 10.4x with some tweaks to the launch, etc...

Awesome! Solid runs from the Ford GT!! I loved seeing it pull on the Huracan. Way to go and thanks for sharing.

What an amazing car!

Oops! Good catch Brooks. I misspoke! It definitely pulled on the Aventador! I clearly have Ford GT on the brain...

I agree with you that it seems like with a little more RPM and tweaking of the launch parameters, it might launch harder with the risk of losing some traction. The top end acceleration is impressive. But it's no surprise to any of us when we were trying to catch the NGT on track in Utah last year. Blisteringly quick!

adjustable launch RPM would be awesome like the BMWs have... a 4,000 RPM launch that night would have been killer...

Agreed. Then it would seriously challenge your Huracan!

Although we all know that the NGT has already won in so many other ways :)

I thought in the VMax mode the wing stays down for straight line racing? Guess I am wrong again.

It stays down while accelerating, but will go up after you let off, airbrake mode to help slow down....

Thanks for the clarification. also, it looks like the LC mode can be used in more than one drive mode, is that correct?

yes, you can launch in sport and track as well...

It's amazing as it is a V-6 designed to win high speed, long track endurance races. It's a chassis (aero) car & not a hot rod. But I love seeing it do these things! Thanks FikseGT!

PS Endurance races, car shows, drag strips, drifting, highway cruising - the NGT can do it all!

thanks! I had the GT out at Homestead Miami Speedway, but left after a Gallardo in front of me hit the wall...
